Jimin Protectors ' Book 1 '

Chapter 47 '✅'

Author's POV:

Namjoon's office...

Namjoon sat motionless in his chair, saying nothing as he was deeply immersed in his thoughts. His brow furrowed slightly as he processed the day's events.

Jin: "Can you at least share with me what's on your mind? This is getting out of control... We need to find a solution that prevents this from happening again. And as IU said... we can't scare him by teaming up against him."

Jin's voice carried the weight of his concern as he poured out his worries.

Namjoon shifted his gaze to look directly at Jin, his eyes revealing a calculated understanding.

Namjoon: "The reason, hyung. If we address the root cause, he won't do this again."

Jin looked at Namjoon with confusion, not quite grasping the meaning behind his words.

Jin: "What do you mean, Joon?"

Namjoon: "Jimin did this because he hated the idea of Yoongi hyung having a girlfriend. He wanted to grab Yoongi's attention."

Jin pulled at his hair in frustration, his shoulders slumping with the realization.

Jin: "This is getting complicated. What are we going to do about this? We can't ask Yoongi to kick IU out for Jimin's sake, and at the same time, we can't risk him doing the same thing again."

Namjoon stood up with deliberate movements and walked to where Jin was sitting. He settled himself on the edge of the table directly in front of Jin, his posture suggesting he had given this considerable thought.

Namjoon: "What happened today was a big lesson that won't let him try anything like this anytime soon. As for him hating IU... I'm sure she knows how to win his heart. He is Yoongi's son after all, and we all know how persistent IU is when it comes to Yoongi."

....

Jungkook carried Jimin to his room as it was late and he needed to rest.

Jimin: "Kookie hyung..." Jimin uttered the moment he was placed on his bed. Jungkook fixed the covers over his body and sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at him with concern.

Jungkook: "Yes, Jimina... does it still hurt so much? I can ask if you can take a painkiller." Jimin shook his head, his eyes filled with guilt.

Jimin: "Taehyung hyung... He's not talking to me. Tell him that I'm sorry." Taehyung hadn't spoken a word but had stayed by Jimin's side until Jungkook carried him to his room. He remained in the living room, silent and brooding.

Jungkook: "He's just tired after the long day. Sleep now and tomorrow everything will be okay. Don't think too much." Jungkook smiled softly, kissing Jimin's forehead before tucking him under the covers.

He stood up and opened the door to leave, only to find Yoongi and IU standing there. This wasn't the furious Yoongi who had stormed off earlier, but Jimin still flinched when his eyes met Yoongi's. His mind had been anticipating this moment when Yoongi would return to face him.

Jungkook left, not wanting to get involved between them. He knew IU could handle Yoongi well.

The moment the door closed behind Jungkook, the air in the room felt thick with tension.

Jimin sat up, causing the covers to drop from his upper body. He kept his gaze lowered, lacking the courage to meet Yoongi's eyes.

IU took soft steps until she reached the bed. She sat on the edge beside Jimin, gently taking his hand in hers.

IU: "I talked to him, Jimin. Don't be scared. Nothing bad will happen." She softly held his chin, lifting his face so she could meet his tear-filled eyes.
